Most of them doesn’t know RAM issue but just assuming that it might be either Hard disk issue or Motherboard issue etc. Finding RAM issue can be done by experience or expert only. This is the same case even for Desktop too.

If you are still facing the same problem, found out and confirmed that the issue is from RAM only despite cleaning it then you have to change the suitable RAM only. For example, if it has DDR2 RAM then you have to buy or replace the same DDR2 RAM only for the laptop. 

If you change the different RAM then it won’t fix first of all or possibly issue in case if it is wrongly fixed. This is the same case for Desktop as well. Please note that laptop RAM size is smaller than Desktop one, so, if you are not aware then try to learn it before handling it.
